So, this emulates the game in the Harry Potter series where everyone is on flying broomsticks? Prolly a lot of fun if you’re a young whippersnapper. Not so much at 80.
As a child I rode my stick horse everywhere so might have done ok then. Sheesh, that was 70 years ago.

Definitely a young person’s sport.

Please excuse my ignorance, but what's the deal with the stick?


You need to go watch a Harry Potter film. The stick is to simulate the brooms the contestants in the film are riding around. It might be more realistic if they had made the sticks with an actual broom.

Some teams used brooms but obviously not required.

We attended the match between Rochester University and Middlebury College in Conshohocken, PA today. Zach Sobel-Pressman (#53) is on the Rochester team; he's the grandson of close friends. I still don’t know the rules but it was a blast to watch. Here’s some information on the sport.

Here's a few of the photos - I put many more on Flickr for our friends to access.

Quite a show, Elliott! BIFs skills have been very handy for this type of photography!

Thanks, Eugene. Shooting sports is a bit more predictable than shooting birds, especially small ones. But the settings are similar.
